GCSE G17 (circles, perimeter)

Basic Foundation Content: know the formulae:
circumference of a circle = 2πr=πd
area of a circle = πr2
calculate perimeters of 2D shapes, including circles
areas of circles and composite shapes

Additional Foundation content
surface area and volume of spheres, pyramids, cones and composite solids
Notes: including frustums. Solutions in terms of π may be asked for. See also N8, G18

Perimeter, Area & Volume L2 revision handout

This revision aid for L1/L2 (mainly L2) Pearson Edexcel Functional Skills maths gives a side-by-side comparison of perimeter, area and volume, the sort of units that would be involved with each and a worked Functional Skills example of each with a PAV mnemonic for remembering which is which. I have also looked through the last few years of Pearson Edexcel FS for the sorts of questions that require each one.
